After ingestion, fructose is converted to fructose-1-phosphate in the liver by fructokinase. Deficiencies of fructokinase cause essential fructosuria, a clinically benign condition characterized by the excretion of unmetabolized fructose in the urine. Fructose-1-phosphate is metabolized by aldolase B into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and ...
Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) results in poor feeding, failure to thrive, chronic liver disease and chronic kidney disease, and death. HFI is caused by a deficiency of fructose 1,6-biphosphate aldolase in the liver, kidney cortex and small intestine. Infants and adults are asymptomatic unless they ingest fructose or sucrose. [citation ...
The amount of fructose routinely lost in urine is quite small. [6] Other errors in fructose metabolism have greater clinical significance. Hereditary fructose intolerance, or the presence of fructose in the blood (fructosemia), is caused by a deficiency of aldolase B, the second enzyme involved in the metabolism of fructose.

Food intolerances can be classified according to their mechanism. Intolerance can result from the absence of specific chemicals or enzymes needed to digest a food substance, as in hereditary fructose intolerance. It may be a result of an abnormality in the body's ability to absorb nutrients, as occurs in fructose malabsorption.
The National Academy of Medicine recommends that adults get 1.1 to 1.6 grams of omega-3s per day to ensure nutritional adequacy. “Aim for two servings of fatty fish (8 to 12 ounces) each week ...
Fructose intolerance may refer to: Fructose malabsorption , a digestive disorder of the small intestine in which the fructose carrier in enterocytes is deficient Hereditary fructose intolerance , a hereditary condition caused by a deficiency of liver enzymes that metabolise fructose
